The Key Steps in the Dental Application Process

Below is a "Fill-in" chart you can use to help you stay organized during the whole dental application process.

Just right click the image, save the image, print it out.

This convenient table is an excerpt from Dr. Joseph Kim's "The Pre-Dental Guide". 


Dr. Kim has "consistently scored in the 99th percentile on all of his major high school and undergraduate standardized tests, including the DAT. He is a National Merit Finalist and Scholar.
He also helped prep students as an instructor for tests like the PSAT, SAT, ACT, and DAT, helping many students receive numerous academic awards for scholarship."
Also, because he was involved in working with dental school admissions, he understands the ins and outs of the whole process.


I found this book very useful as an early pre-dent. It offers some nice "tricks" to the DAT and has a lot of good information that you won't find anywhere else. It will save you valuable time.

I highly recommend this book especially for those of you who are new/not as familiar with the whole application process for dental school.

There are a few typos, and the book is a little outdated, but for $5-10 you can't go wrong! If you have a Kindle or an iPad, it is only $3.47!

2012 AAPD Meeting

Beautiful La Jolla, CA

Sorry that this post has been so delayed. A combination of me being very under the weather since I came back from San Diego (didn't wash my hands on the plane ride back before eating >_> ), AADSAS and other occurrences I haven't had a chance to post about the trip.

The internet is a powerful tool. My belief in it was confirmed as several speakers spoke of how to optimize one's online presence by maximizing the clarity and advertisement of the full range of services offered by a practice. Social media along with the website are the two major avenues one can use to accomplish this.

Social media is especially valuable as it is FREE!

All of you should do yourself a favor and become familiar with social media if you haven't already so in the future when you have your own/are part of a practice, these free methods of advertisement can be used to showcase your practice and all the of its goods and services.
